"Mr President, Commissioner, I would like to bring the northern viewpoint to this debate. It is important that the permanent problems of the north – the long distances, the cold climate and the sparse population – are taken account of in the future as factors that need support just as much as the problems of the mountain regions and islands do.
It is also worth remembering that the northern regions produce added value in areas such as mining, wood processing and tourism. Research in the north and new technology applications in cooperation with universities, businesses, the public sector and consumers continually produce fresh and important innovations, from which the whole of Europe benefits.
I would also like to remind everyone of the opportunities afforded by combining the Baltic Strategy with the Northern Dimension in, for example, the utilisation of energy resources in the Barents region.
Finally, I want to congratulate the rapporteurs on their excellent reports and thank Commissioner Hübner for her interest in the northernmost corner of the Union."@en1
